Everything We Saw During the Launch Week 'Marvel's Avengers' WAR TABLE Livestream
Get ready for this week's release, post-launch hero Kate Bishop, and more high-level content!
It's launch week for Marvel’s Avengers, and in celebration, Marvel Games, Square Enix, and Crystal Dynamics released the third Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE stream earlier today, giving fans an in-depth look at the game ahead of its launch this Friday, September 4, on PlayStation 4, Xbox, PC, and Stadia!
Watch the WAR TABLE in its entirety below:
what to expect on DAY ONE
As suggested in the Marvel's Avengers WAR TABLE, most players will want to start with the full single player campaign on day one to be among the first to discover the many mysteries and secrets of the game, which includes the origin stories for both Ms. Marvel and MODOK.
However, if you're interested in diving right into the Avengers Initiative so you can level up your favorite Avenger as well as play alongside your friends, you can do that as well! Just know, there will be some campaign spoilers. However, the great thing is, you can access the Avengers Initiative and play in parallel with your campaign, go back and forth and picking up where you last left off.
Viewers who watched the Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE live were the first to get details about the game’s daily and weekly missions, as well as four new high-level mission types they’ll encounter as they progress through the Avengers Initiative: Villain Sectors, SHIELD Vaults, AIM’s Secret Lab, and Mega Hives.
AVENGERS INITIATIVE
Villain Sectors are special missions that provide epic showdowns with powerful bosses that players will want to return to as their Heroes get closer to the game’s power-level cap of 150, while SHIELD Vaults are treasure troves of resources, gear, and secrets that must be discovered and unlocked.
Players looking to test their mettle will look forward to teaming up with three friends to tackle AIM’s Secret Lab, a mission only accessible after reaching the game’s highest power levels. Available once a week, the AIM Secret Lab raid will culminate in a massive boss fight influenced by how well players’ teams performed throughout the mission.
Mega Hives will put players’ full Super Hero roster to the test as they fight their way through a gauntlet of descending floors packed with enemies. The farther they go down, the higher the difficulty goes up, and once all their Heroes are defeated, players will have to start over from the very beginning.
KATE BISHOP'S OPERATIONS
The Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE also revealed a new post-launch Hero coming as part of the game’s Avengers Initiative, Kate Bishop, who is voiced by fan-favorite Ashly Burch. Kate’s Operation, “Taking AIM,” kicks off in late October featuring a new villain and new mystery. Bishop, who is mentored by Clint Barton, comes with distinct Heroic Skills and takedowns that only an Olympic-caliber gymnast and master archer like Kate can pull off.
Kate Bishop will be the first new Hero introduced to Marvel’s Avengers after its launch on September 4. Taking AIM’s story begins shortly after the conclusion of the game’s Reassemble campaign and is just the first half of the two Hawkeyes’ Story Arc. Clint Barton’s Hawkeye, who is voiced by TV veteran Giacomo Gianniotti, takes the stage in November to complete the double-feature and lay the groundwork for what’s next.

These new post-launch Heroes will be made available to all Marvel’s Avengers owners at no additional cost and will continue to move the entire narrative world forward. More information about the Hawkeye Story Arc, as well as additional post-launch content will be available soon.
Previous Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLES have included other major reveals, like details on the game’s central villain, MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) and the unveiling of Clint Barton’s Hawkeye, one of the first post-launch heroes who will be added to the game.
In case you missed it, here is everything we learned in the first Marvel's Avengers WAR TABLE, and everything we learned in the second Marvel's Avengers WAR TABLE.
